    Disorganization or joke of the industry? lol I have no idea who I should go with.

    May won't hire me without a 40 hour refresher. Schneider won't without a 4 hour refresher.

    I'd go with Western Express choosing between those two.
    Try Jones Bros. Trucking in Missoula,Montana. They have their own cdl school, so probably also have refresher.
    Try Freymiller also; they have refresher.

    If u go to Schneider go into their bulk division.. grab ur hazmat and twic.. you will make a lot more money hauling tanker vs their vans but it's still a driver mill either way u turn it..

    I just started running at Swift. $1775 this week. People will call ######## on that, which is cool. I'll post the pay stub when the site is updated lol

    This may shock people, but Swift actually has a formidable flatbed program. Their skateboard guys can hold their own in a talent competition.

    Is that one weeks pay or a combined rollover from a previous week?

    And btw friend, don't waste your time defending Swift. They've earned their solid reputation. Keep your numbers to yourself. That's not the way you show you're bringing that A Game.

    If you're the fastest gun in the west, you sure as hell don't advertise. That only increases the odds of youre getting gunned down.

    Luck in battle.
     
    RedRover and Ryan423 Thank this.

    You ain't got 4 hours to help you avoid Western or Swift? If that's the case....just pick one.
